Evolved fruit, fresh acidic structure — a year ago
This wine may be on the decline. The fruit has gone decidedly raisiny. But the acidity still shines and the wine remains delicious. — 7 years ago

So comforting. Cherry pie. — 3 years ago
Pair this wine with crab and oysters. Will play well above where it is. However, where it is: a very drinkable, basic, French wine, that will not fry a hole in your crypto account. — 4 years ago
Tasty Malbec! Smooth taste with just a hint of acidity. Smoky, berry flavors. — 6 years ago
Tiny hint of reduction but beyond that it is super floral and with loads of cherry fruit. Iron, very mineral. Elemental stuff. Dusty and very very refined. Hit of licorice. Really alluring nose. Just stunning. These wines give nothing in their youth and then the blossom. Stunningly fresh and vibrant with still some tannic grip but wonderful balance and depth. Saps your palate and tales of over. This is truly on its way to being great. It’s long and saline and has floral echoes on the finish. Profound. But with age, 3-6 more years, this will be lights out. — 7 years ago

Good with dessert :) — 2 years ago
Dusty patina (like walking through a Japanese temple) pomegranate and cranberry. Mixed white and black peppercorns. Uplifting acid (in a good way) that super complements food. TBL — 4 years ago
Hazelnuts, petrol, lemon zest, and a bit of chalk. Some salinity. Very much like a fino sherry. — 7 years ago
